Pyritie's Artwork

[Pyritie]

No scales it is.

 

[Pyritie]

Bah, I might do scales anyway. For the hell of it. And to practice lighting more, as well as work on working faster.

I HATE CLOTH WITH A VENGEANCE, SERIOUSLY.

Does what I did on her shoulder look okay?

 

[Kimbo]

Yeah, as said work on your lighting, your lighting seems off and abit dull, TDR mentioned saturated shading for the darker tones, go with him on that instead of having a pale white light tone. This cant really be helped atm but just keep it in mind.
Its going good, im not good with clothe either, so i cant really help with that, but id like to note you should shade all of your dragon before getting into larger details with the clothe.
This is all i can say or think of atm :/

 

[Pyritie]

He keeps saying "use saturated shadows and desaturated highlights", and I am. Am I not doing it right?

Here are the colors for the main skin.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

I personally think it looks GREAT (much better than my stupid flat-dragons ^^)
still, i more like a black 'border' around it, like when drawing it whit pencil, but thats just me
Nice choose of colors by the way.

 

[Naze]

I can see that you don't like heavy shading. I prefer using it. It bumps the face and the details of the draw, and gives an impressive look. Poor draws with a balanced heavy shading makes you think that it is awesome.

And cool draws with heavy shading might give a much better impression.

Your draws are cool, so that could work!

 

[Pyritie]

Heavy shading as in make the darks darker and the lights lighter?

The main light is a soft light from the sun, so that doesn't create very many dark shadows. The fireball will make some really bright highlights and dark shadows though.

Added more shading and started the fire highlights.

Yes I know the yellow on the hand is too bright.

The shading on the dark blue isn't done yet either.

 

[Naze]

Heavy shading as in make the darks darker and the lights lighter?

Yes.

But I don't think that the light areas needsto be lighter... It can stay as it is.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The fireball (which I think you have drawn or it could be bad lighting), seems very dull and dim. Remember that this is a fireball cast from a dragon, not a cigerate lighter so it has to be quite a strong light emited from it that noticably colours the body otherwise it looks not very powerful.

Next to that it is still too early for any new critizims.

 

[Pyritie]

I'm probably either going to make the fireball in Magos or Apophysis, because I suck at fire.

And yeah, I need to make it stronger. I also haven't added shadows from it yet; just the highlights.

Added more shading on the blue cloth, as well as some more highlights from the fire.

 

[Pyritie]

Moar shtuff.

I say rawr..

Just.. rawr..



On a good way, that rawr...

WIP 14.

Finished the gold cloth shading.

 

[Naze]

wow, great advance!

Nice fire effect. It looks cool, too bright for my opinion, but ok. Oh, and the wing is crappy... I don't know.... look at it... it is weird.

 

[Pyritie]

I haven't shaded the wing yet.

EDIT:

[Naze]

I'm not talking about the shading, I'm talking about the wing itself.

Oh, and nice dragon concepts... the scales at the second one gives a good look. But it takes too much time to draw, and sometimes it is boring....

 

[Pyritie]

The wing will probably look clearer once it is shaded.

 

[Pyritie]

Done with the chest area.

Also I made two things in apophysis.

All that's left is the wings and scales and background!

I'll probably end up using terragen for the background, since I suck at them and it has a nice cloud generator.

 

[Naze]

You forgot to shade the horns/ears things at the back of his/her head.
And the left foot (If I can say that) is not shaded, it must be darker.

Very nice work, anyway.

 

[Pyritie]

You forgot to shade the horns/ears things at the back of his/her head.

The orange parts? Yeah, those are next.

And the left foot (If I can say that) is not shaded, it must be darker.

Our left or her left?

 

[Naze]

The orange parts? Yeah, those are next.

Oh, ok then.

Our left or her left?

Her left.
_____________

 

[Pyritie]

Her left.

Mhmm. I'm probably going to add scales to this anyway, as the body now looks very unfinished compared to her chest brown thing.

Ugh... WIP 17 already :/

Anyways, I did this last thursday. As in a week and a day ago.

Started on the wings.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Damn you Pyritie, you're sooo good at drawing!
+rep

 

[Pyritie]

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not that great. I still have a lot to learn.

Especially about confounded lighting!

 

[SantaBla]

I really like your artwork Pyritie. Especially Pyritie himself.
+rep.too ^^

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not that great. I still have a lot to learn.

Especially about confounded lighting!

Well, youre MUCH better than all other i know irl, a boy from my paralel class won DM in drawing (Danish, well, mastercup? if you can call it that), but you seem far more better!

 

[Pyritie]

Ha, you should see me draw humans. I'm all like wtf all over the place.

 

[NoNZealot]

Cute dragons lawl + REP!!!!

 

[ike_ike]

Wah. Pyritie. Is that yooooo?

EDIT: I can't type P_Y_R_I_T_I_E

EDIT#2: Py, I think that the Hive is changing every reference to your name to Dragon God. That means that your dA links got changed -_-

EDIT #3: You're Pyritie again ._.

God the wings are taking bloody forever!

 

[Naze]

Nice.

But I think you could use more shadows on that wing.

 

[Pyritie]

What, on the part I've actually done or that part I haven't done yet?

 

[Pyritie]

http://www.deviantart.com/download/82322299/Scorch_WIP_19_by_Pyritie.jpg

FINALLY finished those damn wings.

Now onto the scales, then the background.

Time to find some cloud tutorials...

Amazing
when I saw it I thought it would be a model and not a drawing

 

[Naze]

oooOOOOhhhhhh

That is much better

I think you could work more on the cloth shadowing. But the shadowing of the wings are very nice!

I know, I was quite annying when saying "Add shadows here! Fix the shadow there!" and etc., but it is very cool.

Again, you should work more on the cloth shadowing. If you are skilled enough to shadow the wings like that, only a bit more practice in the clothes and you'll surely do it!

Let's see the finished work!

 

[Pyritie]

The clothes are so hard though :<

 

[Naze]

I prefer doing that then.... huh.... anything else.

I think it is relaxing (at least for me).

God damn I hate scales.

Next: scales shading

 

[TheDarkGiganotosaur]

Hello again, my scaly friend.

I've been looking upon your arts for weeks, and now I've decided to come here to tell you what I think about them. First, I always liked dragons (Fascinating creatures.) and your arts are looking superb, excellent work there, Pyritie!

About the scales, doing the scale shadings is indeed a hard work. But I believe you can do it, just take your time. I wish you luck and keep up with the good work, I'll be looking forward to see more of your arts!

And lastly, I hope I haven't bothered you with my post, but if I did, then I'm terribly sorry.

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, I know. This is gonna take a while.

 

[TheDarkGiganotosaur]

Please, don't feel sad, Pyritie. Remember that practice makes perfect!

I'm also an artist, and I quite understand about these things. Even I can't draw many things well, but I'm always persistent. What I can't draw, I keep practicing from time to time.

And I want to confess, despite my age, that most artists here, including you, draw way better than me!

Don't worry, you can do it !

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Question: How long have you been working now on that dragon already?

 

[Pyritie]

Please, don't feel sad, Pyritie. Remember that practice makes perfect!

:|

Question: How long have you been working now on that dragon already?

Far, far too long. I can probably find out, but I'm too lazy. When this is finished I'll find out how long I've been working on it though.

<OFF-TOPIC>
Uh, sorry, I'm not used to internet chat language. But were you telling me that you weren't sad? I thought you were because of the blue smiley looking sad...
